If the water pressure into your RO System is too low, then you'll need to purchase a "Boost Pump". If a flow restrictor is blocked, then your RO membrane will become clogged more easily and you'll also notice INCREASED TDS readings.

I have looked at numerous other videos and after watching yours through to the end I finally isolated the problem. It was the spring loaded check valve on the corner outlet of the 4th filter stuck shut, hence no clean water to the final filter and tank/tap. I cleaned this and checked it worked by blowing through. I will visit my local fontenera here in Spain to buy a new one. A very big thank you to your excellent video....chapeau.

Best system tutorial on KZbin after all this time. My tank pressure was low and even lowered it further in ignorance as I was clueless. Put in 7 psi and voila, back to normal. I like the way every part is explained in detail and the why is also offered to the viewer. I now have more confidence in dealing with reverse osmosis and can explain to my other half the intricacies that beset the operation of this aquatic filtration apparatus.

Here you go, lessons I learned the hard way (my ASO value would not operate correctly): 1) Make SURE you understand the IN & OUT ports and hook up the lines correctly to ASO valve. 2) Use ONLY hard lines to interconnect (dont use clear lines from home depot, they are too soft and value wont shutoff correctly). 3) Keep all hard tube lengths to ASO value as short as possible. 4) On all connections make sure the tubes push all the way down 5) On all post carbon filters, post filters, etc...dont plug directly into these filters, first always use a push in connector then push your tube into those connectors. I did all above and fixed my ASO value RO system operation.

At 13:05, when you blow through the check valve, should you get a smooth air coming out the other end? I blow through my check valve and I do feel air coming out the other end, but not strong air coming out comparing to the pressure that I'm blowing. When I blow from the other end where the pink ring is, no air is coming out the other end, so the check valve is working. I'm having very low water rate coming out of the check valve and I'm trying to figure out the problem.

I noticed you haven't any calcite filter between the final stage taste and odor filter and your sink faucet. I was always told that you need a calcite filter there to put back into your water some healthy minerals which also enhance the RO water taste. RO water taste is very bland normally because the system removes so much of the good minerals along with the bad. Love to hear any thoughts you have on this. Thanks again.

I think that mineral 'filter' also prevents the water from being too ionically 'hungry'. Like they say, never buy distilled water in a plastic container because it will leach plastic. I don't have one because i'm afraid it'd fill up my Keurig with calcium...but maybe i should anyway.

How much pressure would you think is pushed out of the drain line? The house I bought has the under the sink style RO directly under the kitchen sink in the basement mounted on the wall half way up. The drain line has to go up about 10' to drain at the sinks plumbing. My water TDS readings are as if the RO is doing absolutely nothing. Could the drain line be backing up into the system, skewing my TDS readings? The system was plumbed wrong when I moved in, so I straightened all that out, sanitized, and got new filters. Still poor TDS results.

Hi Jason. It's not a lot of pressure. What's the TDS going in? If it drops 80-90%, you're good.

Hi, cool video ;) i just installed "water express"5 stage system. did empty system twice before tasting first water out, seems still lot of particles in the water, smell gone but after testing with water tester same as you use in video, numbers are nearly same as directly from non filtered tap water of my home :( system is brand new, any suggestions ? Cheers.

Great video. One question: I have a 5 stage and it’s probably 8 months old. I checked our pressure at the outside faucet and we were about 40psi. While our RO faucet has plenty of pressure, I noticed pretty quickly that the drain line would run pretty regularly after or during using the faucet. Is this a low pressure issue or how the RO system works? Thanks!
@electronicsNmore5 жыл бұрын
When you drain water out of the tank, the pressure drops. The pressure drop turns on the flow of water into the RO membrane, and the waste water goes down the drain.
@Hossir2 жыл бұрын
If your RO discharge waste water "during or after" using the RO facet, it would likely means that your RO storage tank air pressure is running low. Check tank air pressure. Pump it to between 7 and 8 psi. Tank air pressure low means tank is water is full while RO keeps trying to fill it thinking that it is empty even when it is not. Tank air pressure high means tank water is low but RO won't turn on to fill it thinking that it is full. Try lifting the tank. If the tank feels full while the RO keeps turning on at every use then the tank air pressure is either low or that the diaphragm is broken. If the tank feels empty while the RO turn on for just a few minutes then shut off, then the tank air pressure is too high.

Thanks for the video :) my only question is, does this system filter out good minerals too ?
@electronicsNmore6 жыл бұрын
Yes, almost everything is removed from the water. You're better off using an RO system and eating healthy, or just add some minerals from a health food store to the RO water.

Low out put volume of water. How do I know it’s my pressure tank or membrane? First was thinking it was a bad tank. Left sink Faucet open till no water. Tank was heavy as if full of water. Took tank outside and opened the valve. Water came out for many minutes as if no issues. Picked tank up and shook. Felt empty and light. So now I am thinking it’s the membrane. Please educate me.
@electronicsNmore4 жыл бұрын
For the pressure tank, just drain out all the water and make sure the pressure is correct(6 to 8 psi). If you have low water production, then either your filter stages before the RO are clogged(especially the first filter connected to the water supply), or you need a new membrane. You can also try to backflush the RO membrane.

My RO system was hissing for a few hours and then suddenly it's constantly draining water now. Tank is empty and not filling up. The drain tube has condensation so it's high pressure water constantly flowing. As soon as I shut off the water, the drain stops. Once I turn on the water, it seems like the water goes straight to the drain. What could be causing this?
